Malin's Reviews:

A delightful little picture book

December 26, 2015 by Malin 2 Comments

Princess Pinecone wants to be a warrior and get cool trophies or weapons, but instead she tends to get big fuzzy sweaters. For her birthday this year, what she wants the more than anything is a horse. A big, brave, strong horse. A warrior horse, fit for the warrior princess that she is. Her parents really do try, but instead, she gets a pony. A little round, yellow pony who likes to eat pretty much everything and fart a lot. Princess Pinecone valiantly tries to […]

Here be dragons

December 26, 2015 by Malin 1 Comment

Once again I want to thank the lovely Mrs. Julien, whose generous gift of an Amazon voucher made it possible for me to buy this book. NFL player Ethan “Dex” Dexter is known to his friends and team mates as “the Wise One”. He’s quiet, observant, focused on his career and not really concerned with dating, or really all that bothered about the fact that he’s still a virgin at 24. The only woman he’s interested in is the bubbly and vivacious Fiona Mackenzie, sister-in-law […]

So when Louisa, with her formidable aunt as chaperone,  receives an invitation to his house party, rumoured to be quite a raucous event, […]

Christmas come early! Thank you, Bonnie!

December 24, 2015 by Malin 3 Comments

Yesterday was rather a stressful day for me. I had to go to hospital and have my stitches removed, I had to get a couple of last minute Christmas presents in absolutely heaving stores (Christmas is celebrated on the 24th in Norway), I lost my wallet out of one of my bulging shopping bags on my way home and had to call the bank to block my bank cards (although a lovely lady called me and had found the wallet, so I got that back […]
